An elderly Egyptian craftsman wearing reading glasses and a red shirt hand-engraves detailed Islamic geometric patterns onto a large brass tray using a metal engraving tool, in a traditional metalwork workshop. The brass tray displays intricate arabesque (Arabesk) and geometric motifs characteristic of traditional Egyptian and Islamic decorative metalwork. This craft, known as Nhas (copper and brass work), is a centuries-old trade practiced in historic market districts such as Khan El-Khalili and Wekalet El-Ghouri in Cairo.
